A man who hadn’t been able to walk his whole life was being carried to the Beautiful Gate of the temple. Every day someone put him near the gate so he could beg from the people who were going into the temple courtyards.
My dear brothers and sisters, listen to me. Hasn’t God chosen those who are poor in the world’s eyes to be rich in faith? Hasn’t he chosen them to receive the kingdom that he promised to give to those who love him?
Then he moved out to the gate that led into the courtyard. There another servant saw him and said to the people, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
